ProFoss provides non destructive analysis of dairy powder directly in the process line without bypass. A dedicated sample interface feeds data to an analyser housed in a robust cabinet mounted at the relevant location in
the production area, for example, after the secondary drying stage (i.e. fluid bed) to check final moisture content.
Results can be fed into your production/SCADA system and/or be presented on a screen in the production area for
rapid adjustments of your process. Precise instrument matching enhances method development, minimises implementation efforts and ensures calibration model transferability between analysers.
Sample
Parameters
Anyone in the plant can contribute to process control. Easyto-use calibration software options such as ISIcal allow
non-experts to develop or expand existing calibration with
automatic sample synchronization. Once calibrations have
been made, there is no need for further adjustments.
Improve your
business with accurate control
Profit opportunities are waiting to be found in your dairy
powder process, regardless of whether you are producing
Skim Milk Powder, Whole Milk Powder, Whey Powder, WPC
or Caseinate Powder. For instance, more accurate control of
moisture in the final dairy powder provides increased yield.
At the same time, improved product consistency can provide
new pricing options.

In final dairy powder, the primary profit driver is to optimise the
moisture level to increase yield and
thereby revenue. Protein and fat
are secondary parameters, typically
used for validation of the final product quality.

High Resolution near infrared technology gives you a clearer picture of your process. A high number of pixels (diode sensors) in the spectrum secures a
more detailed (accurate) and uniform (repeatable) analysis result.
High Resolution also enables manufacturing of "identical" (standardized) analyzers which stay the same over time (no drift).
The ProFoss analyser for milk powder is available with dedicated interfaces based on reflectance technology. Measurements are done directly on the moving sample out of the fluid
bed. A high-intensity dual-lamp light source illuminates the
sample directly. The light interacts with the sample and the reflected light is measured by the diode array sensor. The backup
lamp in the dual lamp system secures uptime and analytical
precision is unchanged even after switching to a new lamp.
The complete wavelength range is measured instantaneously
enabling measurements to be accurately carried out even on
fast moving sample.
Calibrations are transferable between units ensuring easy expansion to other measurement points. Integration to process
regulations systems can be done through interfacing via OPC,
4-20mA, Profibus etc. communication.
RINA is a software suite for networking of the following ISIscan based instruments such as InfraXact, XDS, NIRSystem II
(Feed and Forage Analysers), ProFoss and Foodscan. The software allows you to centralize or outsource your NIR support,
which will lead to considerable cost savings and performance
improvements. Technically it consists of three parts, a server, a
network manager with access to internet and one or several
clients (NIR instruments).
FossCare is a partnership, where FOSS helps customers with preventive maintenance, remote instrument
monitoring, consultancy, training programs and downtime support. FOSS technicians work directly with the
customer to solve any problem that they encounter,
leading to maximum uptime and increased yield.
By participating in a Preventive Maintenance program,
focus is moved from fix it when it breaks to a predictable and proactive approach, reducing the cost
of unplanned downtime and emergency repairs and
increasing the equipment reliability and availability of
the solution.
RINA is a remote instrument monitoring and diagnostics software that makes it easy for an internal or
external expert to precisely configure, monitor and
diagnose FOSS instruments from a remote location.
Calibration updates and bias corrections are easily
handled through the network and the system can be
monitored on a daily basis, allowing you to focus on
optimizing your production.
